Tenant Screening

Unfortunately, the property management industry often underestimates the importance of what we believe is one of the most important aspects of renting out a property, that being the proper screening and analysis of tenants.

Our staff is trained to only place tenants in your home that they would place in their own homes. Properly screening tenants has proven to increase occupancy rates for our home owners while decreasing turn over, wear and tear and damage to the home. Our screening process includes but is not limited to credit checks, eviction records, background checks, income/ asset verification and previous rental history. Once the best tenant is chosen we also negotiate rental rates, fees and lease agreements.

Please note that we are an equal housing opportunity management company. It is illegal to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

Accounting

Accounting is one of the most difficult and regulated areas within property management. Without a management company that is well versed in proper trust accounting procedures your investment or home may be at risk of underperforming financially or vulnerable to other accounting mistakes. We do not take this aspect of the management lightly and have a Certified Public Accountant on staff.
